Webinar: Involving refugees and migrants in integration activities Welcome to a Nordic webinar on Thursday 27 April 2023 at 12-13:15 (CET). At the webinar we will discuss: Why is it important to involve refugees and migrants in integration activities? What are the challenges and gaps for actively involving the target group? How can civil society actors better involve refugees and migrants in developing activities to improve integration and inclusion? How can public authorities in the Nordic countries ensure that important communication reaches population groups with migrant backgrounds? At the webinar we will present findings from two recent Nordic projects by The Red Cross and Rambøll. The results and experiences will be discussed with representatives from the Nordic Migrant Expert Forum. The webinar is mainly targeted at officials from national governments, regional and local authorities and civil society organisations who are looking for inspiration and concrete methods for developing and implementing active involvement. Organizers: Nordic Council of Ministers and Nordic Welfare Centre. Read more about the webinar Register to the webinar New report: Labour market attachment of vulnerable groups A recent report by the Nordic Council of Ministers shows that, across all the Nordic countries, certain population groups struggle with relatively bad labour market attachment. For example, the average employment rate of immigrants in the Nordic countries is 66 per cent, which is nine percentage points lower than for the working-age population as a whole. The report is the first of a series of research reports in a project examining how to increase labour market attachment among vulnerable groups in the Nordic countries: young people, seniors, immigrants and persons with health issues or disabilities. The purpose of this report is to provide a description of the vulnerable groups in the Nordic labour markets and analyse differences in labour force participation among these groups. Read the report Publications from 2022 Implementation of temporary protection for refugees from Ukraine – A systematic review of the Nordic countries This report published with UNHCR in December 2022 provides an overview of how the Temporary Protection Directive and the national protection schemes have been implemented in the Nordic countries and identifies key success factors and challenges. Implementation of temporary protection for refugees from Ukraine Combatting long-term unemployment among immigrants beyond the COVID-19 pandemic Immigrants were more likely to face long-term unemployment during the pandemic than their native-born peers. This report investigates which policies and initiatives policymakers at national, regional, and local levels of governance implemented to support them across the Nordic region. The learnings are compiled in a checklist. Combatting long-term unemployment among immigrants beyond the COVID-19 pandemic More publications
